Wage garnishment is a common type of garnishment that happens when you have an unpaid debt and your employer deducts it from your salary. It will continue to deduct until all your debt is paid. In your case, it is the process to pay your taxes. Federal law limits n how much judgment creditors can take from your paycheck. The amount that can be garnished is limited to 25% of your disposable earnings

    You need to understand what garnishment means and how it works. The creditors won your case and the court orders your employer to withhold a part of your paycheck. Next is to know your right in this situation. Your employer can not just take money from your salary. Follow all the process and pay your debt to lessen your problems.

Offers better trading conditions for retail clients

iOCBCfx is a properly regulated Singaporean forex broker. Despite having a somewhat limited forex portfolio, when compared to other local forex brokers, it still offers better trading conditions for retail clients; lower deposit, higher leverage, even though much lower than that of larger international brokers, and tighter spreads. In some respect they are comparable to those of the global players present in Singapore and can turn out to be very helpful for those who wish to do business with a local broker.

The commission is a minimum $1

I signed up for a pre-funded account last year, commission rate were very low. But if I can share a little hack as it were, indicate an amount higher than $100 for MIP because if you do so your commission rate would be more than 1%.For example, if you indicate $100 for a stock priced at $25, they would purchase 3 units for you as they take into consideration their fees in that $100. The commission is a minimum $1, thus your commission rate is approx. 1.33% instead of 1%
